Chapter 526 - Revenge 527: Stubborn As A Rock (1/2)

”Sorry. I know I promised not to share it with anyone, but I was really bored. But hey, it was worth it. I laughed.”

”It was no worth it! That photo is embarrassing! Why do you even have it? You said you're going to delete it after!” Zen is shaking. He can barely keep his voice low. With every passing second, Anna and Nathalia staring at that picture and asking what that person's identity is, Zen feels like he is about to faint.

To others, he might be overreacting, but he cannot stand it. Yesterday's event is the one thing he does not want anyone to know. He would rather die than to let anyone know about it.

”Zen, why do you look so frustrated?” Nathalia asked. She has no idea what is going on between him and Leon, but it seems like they are fighting about something from her point of view. ”Are you two fighting over this girl in the picture?”

If what she thinks is the truth, this could be one drama she is looking forward to seeing. 'I'm so bad to think that way.'

”You could say it like that,” Leon said.

”You have a girl you are interested in, Zen? I'm sure your mother will be happy to hear that.” Josh, who rarely takes an interest in such conversation, suddenly joins in. This shocked Zen. Josh is the last person he expected to participate in this conversation.

”No. My mother will not be happy. She might even cry.” For the past few days, Zen's mother suddenly took an interest in his love life. She asked him if whether he found someone he is interested in.

He has no idea why his mother suddenly asked him that, but he answered her nonchalantly. Saying that he has not yet found someone, but for some reason, his mother's reaction is not what he expected. Her face was full of worry.

”You think she's going to cry because you and Leon are interested in the same girl?”

The question Anna asked him almost made him choked. He wants to say that the girl they are talking about is him, and he is not definitely not competing against Leon. 'This is getting ridiculous.' He inwardly said.

”No. I'm not interested in her, and I am not competing against Leon with kind of nonsense.”

”I don't know, man. That girl is a beauty. And now that looking at the picture more closely, she kind of reminds me of you.” Aaron's comment suddenly alerted Zen. Though he knows that girl in the picture is him, how can Aaron notice that? If he did not have any idea, Zen wouldn't guess he and that person in the picture is not the same person.

”W-What? Nonsense!”

Anna and Nathalia flinched. ”What's with you? Do you really have to shout like that?” Zen has been acting weird since the conversation about the girl has started, and everyone noticed it. They did not point it out because they all thought that he is shy that he is finally have someone in mind, but this time they believe that they got the wrong idea.

”If you're really not interested in her, then there is no need for you to shout like that.” Anna frowned. ”The way you're acting right now makes us think that you're hiding something.”

With that, Zen closes his mouth. He should stay quiet now than to say another word. Zen is afraid that if he does open his mouth now, he might reveal the truth he has been trying so hard to hide.

Leon, who couldn't take it any longer, sat at the very corner of the room and tried his best not to laugh out loud. Everyone watched him, and they all saw him shaking. They know for a fact that he is laughing, but they have no idea why he is laughing.

”What's wrong with him? Did I say something funny?” Anna asked. People around here have been acting so differently, and she feels annoyed about it.

”Just don't mind him.” Aaron shrugged.
